Here's a place to talk about Funko's clothing, books and bookmarks, homeware, electronics, and the like.

I love when older threads like this resurface, so much funko history. As long as I've been collector I'm still a newbie in soooo many regards!! Very cool [-o<

This was given out to Funatics who: were in good standing for 3+ years, attended 2 previous Fundays (or one Fundays and 2 FDOs), and had an 1000 post count minimum on the forums. Funatics who were eligible were sent this card to show to Mike and Brian at Funko events such as Fundays, Comic-Cons, etc. to receive a special limited edition product.

Here's my goal: I'd love for Funatics who previously have owned this to share and comment what you have received because of the Platinum Card!

Wow! Never knew of this! I still have my funklub card and lanyard from when i joined but this is awesome! I wish i could get one lol

For a few years, this card permitted it's holder to receive free Pop! (and wacky wobblers for a time). There were give-aways at Fundays and at the SDCC Funko booth exclusively for card holders. Funko staff was on board to verify one had a card before being gifted. I recall many 48's - even a couple of years when there were more Pop!s than Funatics - so there were left over 48's!!! Unheard of now.


What were the qualifications needed to get this?

Agree, It would be absolutely amazing if Funko brought this back. I can only imagine what the perks would be. lol

What i remember as a stand out is receiving the clear Freddy Funko pop holding SDCC logo sign. Fundays Year 2014/96 pieces.

I know that one year during Fundays the Plat card gave the cardholder an additional “turn” at the table of Freddy pops.

Cant remember anything else.

You were also able to gain access to the Funko SDCC booth ahead of the crowd or you could just walk up any time :freddy3:

For sure...pretty much the first time I saw a Platinum card it was someone using it to get into the booth without waiting...it seemed like magic... I waited 2 hours in line that year :roflmao:

I missed it by one or two years as well and was bummed. As Funko grew it would have been unmanageable so I understand why they discontinued it.

I was able to use it once and that was the last time I remember that it was used. Fundays 2015, whoever had a platinum card was able to go up to the table and grab a Freddy.

Bring back the cards, it would be awesome. Don't even need perks just to be recognized by funko would be cool.

I still have mine and I still carry it in my wallet too!

I was one of the last Funatics to get this before it was nixed. I can't even remember when I got it, but I do remember barley making the cut. I think I was able to use it at least one time tho. :D

The button is one of my favorite Funko giveaways. It was handed out in the Funko line in 2014 or 2015 (I think).

This thread got me wondering if Funko would bring back a similar concept but using a digital card. Something you could put into your phone wallet. Even if it was just for show with no perks, I’d totally participate.
